This is a port of GNU grep 2.6.3 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  This grep update solves more multibyte problems rised lately.  Although most
  of them do not concern DJGPP because no multibyte support is available here,
  it solves more testsuite issues, so that the testsuite recognizes that those
  tests should not be run instead of failing.
  For more information see:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2010-04/msg00031.html>

  I have completly removed the grep 2.6.2 port yesterday uploaded.  There is no
  reason to keep both.

  This time I have also compiled a DJGPP 2.03 version but you will need
   to modify your /include/conio.h to be able to compile the grep sources.



  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  DJGPP specific changes are those required to implement colorization support
  for this port.  If grep is called with the command line option --color and
  the output is directed to the screen then the default colors will be used
  to mark matches, filenames and line numbers.  If the output does not go to
  the screen then colorization is automaticaly suppressed.  Read the docs to
  learn how to control the color using the environment variable GREP_COLORS.
  As usual all changes are documented in the diffs file that is stored in the
  /djgpp directory.

  Please note that to run the testsuite produced with autoconf 2.64 and later
  you must install mktmp16b or later.  Because the testsuite also tries to test
  multibyte patterns but multibyte strings are not fully supported by DJGPP
  some tests will be skipped or fail.  The yesno test is known to fail, so
  please do not report it.

  Please also note that there is a function name clash between gnulib's and
  grep's gettext wrapper and djgpp's old BORLAND  compatibility gettext
  function declared in conio.h.  This issue has been solved in djdev204.
  To solve the problem for djdev203,  I provide the patch /djgpp/conio.patch
  that will change djdev203's conio.h accordingly to djdev204 conio.h.  After
  this change the name clash will be solved in the same way as it has been
  solved for djdev204.  The patch only concerns this name clash.

  As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, README files, etc.)
  are located in the /djgpp subdir.

  For futher information about GNU grep please read the info docs and NEWS file.



  The port consists of the usual three packages that have been compiled
  using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
  and mirrors as (timestamp 2010-04-02):
